Tennessee State’s table is nearly all named courses, which makes it one of the easiest to plan around. Its science slate goes further than most partners — through Organic Chemistry and Pharmacology — so pre-health students can cover a large share of prerequisites. Take lectures and labs together, and confirm the Organic Chemistry II row with TSU.
